Skincare Routine of the Day

[l8totheparty]

This is a place to share your skincare routine of the day!  Whether it be daytime routine or nighttime routine, I know you have one.  From simple to complex, expensive to inexpensive products: show and tell! If you are anything like me, your skincare routine changes daily. Skincare isn't as showy as makeup, but it is the quiet work horse of our daily lives.

You might want to include with your post: your skin type, skin concerns (& the weather where you are).

⭐ Sometimes if all you can do is your skincare, that is enough.

I will be investigating it, @eshoe!! Reduced dryness sounds pretty great!! Nice!! Thanks!!

[txcatx]

This is me going a lot more minimalist with my skincare routine! I do have other products I use depending on how my skin is feeling, but this is pretty typical for my combination skin.

@txcatx Have you tried the re-formulated First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser – Gentle Hydrating Cleanser ?  I just got mine recently when Ulta had it 50% off and I guess it's close enough, but I'm still experimenting.  I really thought I'd see some chatter about it on BIC.  IDK when they changed it.

I just got a sample tube of this cleanser in one of my orders a few weeks ago so I don't know if it's the reformulated version or not, but I do know it doesn't smell great. I do really like how it cleanses and how my skin looks after, but the smell is really making me want to switch to something else. Not sure if that was a thing with the old formula or not though.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@bellossomraptor I don't remember noticing much of a smell one way or another with the old or new version.  I hope you didn't get a bad batch!

[txcatx]

@greeneyedgirl107 I haven't tried the reformulated version yet--I bought a couple tubes of the old formula when I saw it on sale last year and still working my way through them. I would definitely love to know what everyone thinks of the new formula, though.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@txcatx It isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination.  That said, I regret not stocking up.  I generally stock up on products - but I guess I do it more for haircare than anything else.

So many amazing products, @faeriegirl!! That cleansing balm is definitely on my list!!

[eshoe]

Woah look at all of that YTTP @faeriegirl! I can’t wait to try the cleansing balm. 

[faeriegirl]

@eshoe  My skin loves YTTP💛

[greeneyedgirl107]

@faeriegirl Thanks for posting on this!  This is one of my fave threads - love to see what people are really using.  I keep meaning to post my stuff.  If I get a week off next week, I should make a resolution to do it.

This morning a very simple routine. I also used SPF but forgot to include as usual! Cool weather, low humidity. Skin is normal.

@eshoe Is the Beauty Water a toner or essence, or what?!  It piqued my interest.

[eshoe]

It is an essence, @greeneyedgirl107, and it is very watery. The only thing I do not like about it is the pour spout; I end up wasting some every time. Come to think of it, I have plenty of DS bottles, I should find a mini spray one to decant this to. It is thin like water but feels much ‘bigger’ on the skin, if that makes any sense.

This morning I used:

CeraVe foaming facial cleanser 

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG

CeraVe Ultra Lightweight Moisturizing Lotion With SPF 30

I have oily skin and my skin concerns are acne, enlarged pores, redness, dark circles, and some uneven texture.

@eshoe  Great idea keeping it simple!

[eshoe]

@ather I think it is easier to do in the summer, my skin needs a little extra hydration in the winter. 

[tjffc]

@eshoe I keep hearing so much about the Glow Recipe products.  I finally ordered one of their toners yesterdays.  I can't wait to try it.
